Obama will not say a word-

That's how slime like that operates. Bringing attention to it would beg for action and we don't want that, do we?

I’m active Army. There are policy memos posted in various places warning us not to go anywhere in Mexico within 50 miles of the border. The city of Juarez and the entire state of Chihuahua are included in this order. Military cannot go; civilians are strongly encouraged not to go.

I wonder, don’t National Guardsmen get the same memos?

I though Juarez was put “Off Limits” to service members.

I travel a lot. When I get on the plane I try to sit in an aisle seat and mentally go thru what I would do to subdue a passenger who might threaten or create a scene mid-air.

I am not kidding.

In the military they taught us to always be mentally prepared for a surprise. In Escape and Evasion training classes we learned many common things could be used as lethal weapons, i.e. shoe laces or thin belts as garottes, shoes as clubs, pencils to stab out eyes, etc. I have never forgotten this.

I have metally clubbed to death numerous muslims, eventhough I am a 60 year old ex-SeaBee. still in good shape though. CAN-DO

Kind of surprised that a Guardsman was allowed to go
across the border, even if he was in civilian clothes.

God rest his soul.....

This border situation is very scary to
us who live in Texas. It affects all of us because of the
criminals who have infiltrated across that border into our
state.

The article says the victim was visiting family. This is an opsec issue.

He probably told his family in Mexico that he was going to stop by for a visit.

The family talked about how they were looking for ward to seeing their family member who is a Guardsman.

The talk spread and is heard by folks involved in the drug trade.

The folks in the drug trade decide that this would be a good chance to “send a message”, much the same way they send messages to local police, judges, military members, and reporters.

I would think that if he showed up to visit his family unannounced, we would not be commenting on his death.
